Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Kai (Thanks Jerry)
Brush: Simpson's Ehsan
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern
A/S: Royall Lyme
This was my second use of the Kai blade and I have been impressed so far. I enjoyed another irritation free BBS shave. I finished the shave off with one of my neglected aftershaves...Royall Lyme. This makes a great summer aftershave and I really ought to use it more often.

The Merkur blade is not the smoothest blade out there but it didn't do any damage. Seems like they skimped on the coatings.

The good days keep coming.
Gillette "Fat Handle" Tech
Super Iridium
SR 3722
D.R. Harris Lavender Shave Cream
D.R. Harris Pink
This is the first shave I have ever had that I would have to label under the "Something Special" category. For some reason it just was, on more than just Shavegeek levels. I am not sure but I think the D.R Harris Cream may be some of the older stuff. It is harder than both my Trumpers and TOBS. The purple cream chunks stuck to the side of the bowl and the bush didn't appear to be scraping much of it off. But still like I said, just a special shave.

Nate, That sounds like the older Harris's cream. It's easy to tell though; their old cream came in a pot with ridges on the lid, just like the Trumper pots. The newer stuff is in smooth sided pots.
